The socio-economic impacts of Sustainable solid waste management and Technological innovation for transition into a circular economy in sub-Saharan Africa: A Literature review study from the Ghanaian perspective
Original language description
Purpose: In navigating through the sub-Saharan Africa industrial revolution era, sustainable waste management has been the main challenge for Cities and industries. This is due to the increasing population growth, industrialization, and urbanization. The impacts of waste on communities include choking of drainage systems because of poor collection- leading to flooding, improper disposal at the dump site resulting in burning which releases polluted gases adverse to human health, high cost of collection by the municipal or city authorities, serving as breeding grounds for insects and diseases. However, with the exhaustibility properties of waste as resources, the circular economy through recycled products, energy generation, and services seeks to improve resource use efficiency through waste recycling, reuse, and recovery. The capital demand for waste management situations in Africa has resulted in the misuse of strategic financial resources meant for development into a linear waste management system where waste generated is transported into a landfill site and is either burned or left there for natural decomposition. Navigating through this dilemma, this study focussed on the socio-economic impacts of Sustainable solid waste management and Technological innovation for transition into a circular economy in sub-Saharan Africa: a Literature review study from the Ghanaian perspective.
